A couple of weeks ago I was given a new award by a very dear and extremely humorous lady who should be on everyone’s reading list.( She probably is). Elaine Canham http://elainecanham.wordpress.com/ Since I didn’t have an Author- or any other Interview yesterday , I’m taking this opportunity to share it with you.
For once there don’t seem to be many rules and it doesn’t matter too much anyway as I have a tendency to break them these days.
1. The first instruction is how you would change the world if you were in charge.
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. No more weapons allowed though the military would be issued with jack-in-the-boxes to scare the enemy. No more space exploration as the money is now given over to feeding the World’s starving and to creating ways of bringing water to irrigate desert areas we once occupied. Hugging is mandatory when you meet someone ( unless they have the plague). No global conglomerates are allowed to dodge tax on profits made within a country by sending them elsewhere. In order to stem the tide of obesity junk food is now allowed only on birthdays.
2. Things I have to make up about myself, but that I wish were true.
a) I was once voted one of the ten most handsome men in the Universe ( excluding Venus as I’m told they’re all gorgeous)
b) I won the biggest ever lottery prize and spent it all on wine and women, the rest I wasted.
c) My blog was voted ‘Best Ever’ by a jury of my peers.
d) I learned to drive.
e) I entered a Mr. Nice Guy competition and lost out to Big Al, my albino cory.
One of the joys, and the most difficult part of awards is the nominations. Here are mine and absence of a name doesn’t mean I don’t love you.

THANK YOU DAVID – you’re very kind to include me in this great list of Nominees 😀
You belong there Chris.
David, you truly are the most inspiring blogger! But when you said “I entered a Mr. Nice Guy competition and lost out to Big Al, my albino cory” I laughed so hard i think i hurt myself. I can just imagine the fish with a banner and crown, looking all surly and everything except “nice.” Huge hugs my friend. 😀 ❤
Please don’t sue me for hurting you. I’ll settle out of court. I’ll even give you Big Al. He ha to return the banner and crown after a year though.

Poor Big Al. He will miss his fashions. Huge hugs. 😀
Thanks David for the nomination. And for the post. I think you’ll have to be nominated for the Novel Peace Prize next as I think you’re right on the money as to how to sort the problems of the world. We’d need to look closely at the definition of junk food but otherwise…I’m with Teagan on the Mr Nice guy comment…;)
You’re welcome Olga. Thank you for acknowledging my ways should be adopted by the Novel Peace Prize Committee.Of course I’ve had centuries to think about this problem resting in my crypt waiting for all those people with ‘steaks’ to go home..
Bacon is definitely not on the list of junk food I checked. Nouvelle Cuisine is, I saw it there..
Ha, so you’re another one who thinks Big Al deserves the place. I’m heartbroken, what do I need to do to win?
xxx Massive Hugs xxx
Congrats to Big Al and, of course, you! 😀
Thanks so much, he says his award way outshines mine but I’ll enter again next year and maybe…………just maybe.
xxx Huge Hugs xxx
I’ll keep my fingers crossed, then … 🙂
Happy greetings,
Salva
Of course it might just help if I decided to be nicer?
xxx Huge Hugs xxx
Kindly stay as you are. Otherwise your readers most probably shall miss the one or other precious facet … 🙂
I love it when a plan comes together. Nice acceptance.
I thank you.
xxx Massive Hugs xxx
Love it. Thanks for the mention David. You’d win any Nice Guy competition hands down.
You’re too kind Elaine.xxx Massive Hugs xxx

C’mon. where’s the next blog? I miss the news.
xxx Huge Hugs xxx
I started writing it today – am so out of the groove that it’s taking awhile to get back in to it but hopefully you’ll see it very soon! 😀 xxx
Now I wish you ran the world. And PS – thanks for the cool list of reading material. 🙂
Thanks Cary, if I ever get offered the job there’s a place for you.
Congratulations David,
You deserve it! I always enjoy reading your blog. Just one thing, What is a cory? 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thanks so much. A cory is a little type of catfish. Mine is an albino cory hence the name Big Al. 😀

How wonderfully strange Kim. Seconds ago I described you as a beautiful person inside and out and here you go proving my point for me. Thank you so much sweet one. After two days of struggling with a computer problem you wouldn’t even have put me in the finals of that competition.
